I already know I’m going to catch flack … from those who believe vaccines are perfectly safe, that injecting 49 doses of 16 vaccines containing neurotoxins, carcinogens, antibiotics, detergents, foreign DNA and live and mutated viruses before age six is no cause for concern, and from those who think natural medicine (which has been around since circa day one) and the belief that the body can heal itself, is pure quackery. If you are one of those people, this post is not for you.
If your child was vaccinated, suffered an adverse reaction, has a chronic health condition, or if you want to prevent one that could occur in the future as a result of being vaccinated in the past … then a detox may be in order. If you believe in the science that shows that accumulated toxins contribute to health conditions and want to address the burden vaccines placed on your child and the toxins stored in their body as a result, this post is for you.
This whole concept of detoxing is really quite simple: Detoxing attempts to restore balance by supporting the body’s elimination channels and by binding to metals, chemicals, and toxins so they can be safely removed from the body. Vaccinations are certainly toxic. Think I’m wrong? Check out the list of additives here.
We’ve got formaldehyde (a probable human carcinogen), mercury (a neurotoxin and the second most toxic substance known to man), aluminum (a known neurotoxin, 75% of which is retained in a newborn and up to 40% in an adult and is stored in the kidneys, spleen, liver, heart, brain, lymph nodes, and muscle), cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (a hazardous substance), MSG (a neurotoxin), 2-Phenoxyethoanol (a hazardous toxin), and polysorbate 80 (a toxin associated with serious adverse effects including death), to name a few.
Let me save you some time, none of the ingredients contained in vaccines are safe, many are stored in the body, and all of them contribute to health conditions, if not today … then tomorrow.
Oh, but these ingredients are easily excreted from the body … except that they’re not. Fully functioning kidneys are required to eliminate many of these ingredients and a child’s kidneys are not fully developed until they are 1-2 years old. Good bowel flora (which ingredients in the vaccine compromise) is required for proper elimination of toxic substances, and the skin … well you see the attempts of the skin to eliminate these toxins. It’s called eczema, and it’s not “normal.”
Children’s Vaccine Detox Protocol
There’s a misconception that detoxing is harsh or can only be done via chelating and fasting. With children, it is extremely important that detoxing be done in a slow, gentle manner, and in the safest way possible. A detox usually lasts a month but may last longer if your child suffered an adverse reaction. After the detox is completed, you can narrow in on your child’s specific health condition (if they have one) which is why establishing care with a Naturopath, Naturopathic Physician, Functional Medicine Doctor, or Chiropractor trained in this area is a great idea.
Here are some gentle detox ideas for a child who has been vaccinated (to help counteract the harmful effects of vaccines):
Detoxification bath – This bath can be used to rid the body of viruses, bacteria, cellular waste, metals and chemicals from the body. Add 5 drops of “Lavender“ to your child’s bath with a 1/4 cup of epsom salt. You can also do this as a foot bath.
Probiotics – A probiotic is essential to restore gut flora and balance the immune system. This is very important especially if a child experienced an adverse reaction to a vaccine (like eczema, ear infections, arthritis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disease, etc.). I love “Life Start” by Natren (for babies/young children) and this probiotic by Garden of Life.
Omega 3 Oil – This is especially important to take if your child suffered an adverse reaction or had MMR, DPT, Dtap, or Varicella vaccines. Cod liver oil is thought to be the most superior of all fish oils but with the cost of CLO and potential rancidity, I use Udo’s Oil.
Cilantro Chelation Therapy – Dr. Yoshiaki Omura discovered that the leaves of the coriander plant can accelerate the excretion of mercury and aluminum from the body. If you give the body what it needs, it will heal itself, and cilantro has a molecular bond that binds to heavy metals and pulls them from the body. Cilantro therapy is gentle and inexpensive.
To use: Incorporate cilantro into your detoxing regimen by juicing with cilantro consuming it raw. Your child should have a minimum of 1 teaspoon daily for 2-3 weeks. You can also do a detox bath with two drops of coriander and epsom salt.
Elderberry – This is an excellent herb for children and can be taken as a syrup or in supplement form. Research shows that elderberry inhibits enzymes used by viruses to penetrate and infect healthy cells. Another option is Elderberry Defense which contains Echinacea, royal jelly, and olive leaf. Echinacea strengthens the immune system, fights viral infections in the body, and increases the production of T-lymphocytes to fight bacterial toxins, and stimulates macrophages (that filter out and destroy foreign particles, bacterial and toxins in the lymph system).
Royal jelly contains many nutrients and all 8 essential amino acids, helps prevent illness, and combats the stress on the body caused by vaccines. Olive leaf has been shown to be an effective remedy against almost every type of disease-causing microorganism, relieves many health problems, and has exhibited microbial effects against over 130 infectious diseases. It would be pertinent to take this remedy if your child has had any of the live vaccines including MMR, Varicella, Flu Vaccine, OPV, DPT, and would also be indicated in Dtap.
There are several ways to take elderberry: You can make your own elderberry syrup for children under two, purchase elderberry in soft chew or herbal form (2 capsules daily mixed in applesauce), or drink an elderberry-infused tea.
Vitamin C helps counteract the damage of heavy metals, chemicals, and toxins contained in vaccines and strengthens the immune system. The best way to get vitamin C is through food but since we’re detoxing, adding a supplement and taking it frequently throughout the day is beneficial. I typically recommend vitamin C chewables but powdered form and liposomal form is also an option.
Silica helps gently pull toxins out of the tissues and into the blood stream to be eliminated from the body. Studies on silicic acid show that it is an effective non-invasive therapy for reducing the burden of aluminum in the body, that it slows down the accumulation of aluminum in brain tissue and the gastrointestinal tract, substantially reduces aluminum bioavailability to humans, reduces toxicity in plants and animals, and enhances the excretion of aluminum in urine without negative side-effects. In other words, silica can only help a good detox. You can purchase silica in liquid mineral form, as a cell salt, or as an herbal supplement (horsetail).
Homeopathic Antidotes – Some children benefit greatly from homeopathic antidotes. Typically, a homeopath or naturopathic doctor will either recommend a remedy based on the constitutional type of your child and side effects they experienced as a result of vaccinations, or will recommend a vaccine potentized as a homeopathic remedy known as a “vaccine antidote.”
If your child was vaccinated against chicken pox, measles, mumps, rubella, and polio, you would want a Varicella antidote, MMR antidote, and IPV antidote. If they were injected with vitamin K or Hepatitis B, you would want a vitamin K and Hep B antidote. Antidotes generally have no negative side-effects and are in an easy-to-take sugar pellet form that can be dissolved under the tongue or crushed up.
Water – When toxins are pulled from the body, they need to be flushed out. Full kidney function is dependent upon there being enough water in the body. Avoid soda, dairy, and junk juices and encourage your child to drink plenty of water (5-8 cups) throughout the day. You can sweeten it with a little honey and lemon (for increased vitamin C) or add some liquid chlorophyll.
Massage – During a detox it is especially important to “milk the lymph nodes” through gentle massage. The Lymphatic system is the clean-up crew of the body and massage helps remove cell wastes, proteins, excess fluid, viruses, and bacteria trapped in the lymph nodes.
Dandelion Root (herbal or tincture)- Supporting the liver during a detox is very important because the liver performs over 5,000 functions – including toxin filtration. Although there are several herbs that can support and cleanse the liver, none are safer, more effective, or as inexpensive as dandelion. Dandelion helps the liver and gallbladder filter out toxins, purifies the blood, stimulates the kidneys to eliminate toxins through the urine, and assists with cell metabolism.
You can purchase dandelion greens from the store (to use in juices and smoothies) or purchase in pill form, as an herbal tea, or pick them from your own back yard. If you have a hard time believing that the “weed” in your yard could serve such an important purpose, might I recommend reviewing the studies on dandelion in the PubMed database? They are quite impressive.
Raw Food, Juices, & Smoothies – The absolute best way to counteract the harmful effects of a vaccine is through food, and my favorite way of doing this for children is through raw smoothies and juices. Shoot for at least 2-3 raw juices or smoothies per day during a detox, in addition to their normal meals. You can check out my Pinterest for some of my favorite juices and smoothies and “Ergonomics of a Smoothie” for smoothie tips. Try to include foods like broccoli, collards and kale, daikon radish, garlic, onions, spices, and sunny-side up eggs from free-range chickens in their diet during this time.
Detox Side-Effects: What to Expect
It’s not unheard of for there to be mild side-effects during a detox known as a “healing crisis.” Your child may be grumpy for the first few days, may experience a worsening of symptoms, loose stools, may sleep more, or may experience flu-like symptoms. However, your child (more commonly than not) may experience no noticeable side-effects.
What To Do After a Detox
If you haven’t established a relationship with a natural medicine practitioner, I would highly recommend it. These individuals are trained in nutrition and alternative therapies and can provide a plan to address your child’s individual needs. If you don’t have one available in your area, continue to seek out things that will help your child’s specific condition, and when it doubt, juice it out. Juicing is safe for all people of all ages and will address both toxicity and deficiency.

May 18, 2019 at 7:52 pmI do foster care and am in the process of adopting a 10 month old. We are required to give him all required vaccines, although I spread them out more than the schedule recommends. I don’t know if this is actually better or worse though.
Every time I take him in I’m pretty terrified, knowing the SIDS rate after vaccines.
I obviously can’t feed him breast milk, so what would you recommend?
Amie
April 12, 2019 at 7:43 amCan a baby do these? 5 months old?
Megan Redshaw
April 12, 2019 at 2:13 pmYou should not do any type of detox with a 5 month old. Baths with epsom and essential oils that are safe for babies and used properly are fine. 🙂 At 5 months, influence baby as much as possible through breastmilk.

April 19, 2019 at 9:10 amMy grandson is four. He was meeting all milestones till two. Had 500 words. Knew to identify alphabets,numbers ,colors,shapes.
But as he was flapping at two he was put into ASD . After two years six months he started regressing . Lost words except a few.
So wondering if it is vaccine injury.
How to detox him???
Deb
April 6, 2019 at 8:10 amHelp please. ……My son is 8 years old doesn’t care for smoothies. What are the things I should do to help him detox. There is so much and for how long. And I also need to help my 2 year old who is partially vaccinated. We stop around 4 months.
Thank you!
Lori
March 29, 2019 at 6:48 pmHow long do you recommend doing a detox bath. My daughter is 5 and I am just now learning about the dangers of vaccines. I thought I would start with the detox bath but wasn’t sure if we should do that every day, once a week or??
Thank you!!!
Amanda
April 2, 2019 at 5:58 pmI am in the same boat with a 5 year old son who suffered very severe effects from the MMR.
I’ll be doing the baths as well and would like to know the same answer please.
Carla
April 9, 2019 at 2:49 pmWhat were his side effects ? Was this the first time you vaccinated him? I’m in that boat right now
Lyds
May 7, 2019 at 5:56 pmHey Lori, for our son (when he was 5), he soaked for 15-20 minutes 3-4 times a week for the first month or so. We were then able to back off to 2 baths a week. I highly recommend using magnesium flakes instead of Epsom salts, as they are more gentle on the body and more effective. You can get a big container of them on Amazon.

March 21, 2019 at 5:44 pmThank you for sharing this! I tried to save it to Pinterest and it is blocked due to all of the ridiculous censorship happening around vaccines.
Cathi
March 15, 2019 at 7:30 amGreat article…one point though,,,the detox bath is missing a vital dispersant agent for proper and safe absorption. Epsom salt alone does not acheive this. The lavender oil must first be added to a fatty carrier, then added to the bath. Id hate for children to experience the opposite effect of the detox bath nad have a bad reaction, instaed of acheiving detox. Please ALWAYS consult with an aromatherapist when advising use of essential oils, since there is way too much incorrect information out there (much the same as vaccines) God bless
Megan Redshaw
March 24, 2019 at 11:24 amThanks for the comment Cathi. I am actually certified in aromatherapy. I understand the purpose of carrier oils, but it is not a requirement to add lavender to a fatty carrier or for there to be a “dispersant agent” in order to achieve the benefits of the oil or the bath. 🙂

March 9, 2019 at 12:02 amHi,
My 5 month son received the Hib vaccine, his 2nd dose, on 3/4/19. That day I breastfed when we returned home 930. At 1230 gave 1tbs oatmeal with a half teardrop of peanut butter. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks. Then,at 230 breastfed. He fell asleep, and at 315 started vomiting breast milk. He did this 4 times. He bowls were thick like oatmeal and then had cheese-like curds in them for 2 days. Now appears to be having a hard time having a ton of stool. I believe the vaccine has caused constipation issues, anyone know of this? My pediatrician told me it was the peanut butter or dairy in my diet. Why did it not occur before now? Why the same day he had the Hib vaccine?

March 19, 2019 at 10:18 pmChildren can develop allergies to certain foods, my daughter breastfed fine and then one day she started to do the same as your child and we had allergy test and such done and she in fact was allergic to the dairy products I was consuming.
Susana Rodrigues
April 5, 2019 at 12:06 pmFrom what age can we incorporate this detox ways? I guess we cannot do it when they are just a couple of months old? What should we do after the 2months vaccines f0r example?
Ursula Minnaar
January 7, 2019 at 10:20 pmHi
I have been doing the detox with my kids but read an article on silica and it stated that: ‘Because horsetail contains traces of nicotine, it is not recommended for young children.”
I am a bit confused now as to how save this then is for kids? Could you maybe get back to me about this? Please?
Lori Hayden
February 15, 2019 at 12:22 amYou can get silica through food grade diatomaceous earth or through cellular salts, that I don’t believe would have any nicotine.

December 3, 2018 at 2:30 amAre any of these detox ideas gentle enough to use with infants?? My greatest interest is in cilantro essentia oil… is it safe for infants? If so, what is the recommended method of implementation after a vaccine that has aluminum?
Megan Redshaw
December 3, 2018 at 4:12 pmI would not detox and infant. The best way to positively influence health is through breastmilk and/or avoiding procedures or interventions that could compromise their immune system. <3
Brianna Jensen
December 7, 2018 at 2:55 pmHow old would you start doing this process with? Would a detox bath still be appropriate for an infant?
Roxanne
December 4, 2018 at 5:09 pmOne has to be very careful with cilantro even in adults… Yes, it can release metals, but if not properly bound to an appropriate binder may re-absorb and stir things up more. It has it’s place, and some parents have used the triple formulation of HMDetox (out of Europe) with children (dosed very slowly in tiny steps) with considerable improvement in their child, but it needs to be part of a broader plan with diet etc. and would not be appropriate for babies. For a baby (how young is she/he?) working with a well experienced homeopath with a track record for successfully helping with vaccine injury may be an option worth exploring. The breastfeeding mother in the meantime needs a super clean and healthy diet with high levels of vitamin C, anti-oxidants and vital minerals such as magnesium, selenium, zinc, silica etc. (Remember that aluminum and heavy metals such as mercury (still in multi-dose flu shots AND used in vaccine production but not listed) displace healthy minerals. Also, in my area there is an excellent chiropractor who does a very gently light touch technique (not conventional adjustments obviously) that helps the critically important nervous system function and cope better. I’ve seen him help several vaccine damaged babies including one that got seizures following the DPT. I believe the technique is called ‘Geometric Patterning’… There are relatively few chiropractors trained in this, but it’s worth exploring. Warm organic cold pressed sesame oil is very nourishing to the nervous system when massaged into babies and used for general baby health in India.

November 2, 2018 at 6:19 pmHi! I am a mother of a 2 year old who attends a NYC Public School. She is unvaccinated, however, there is a mandate for the influenza vaccine to be given or else she won’t be able to return to school. I am fighting for an exemption but I don’t know if this would work. If I end up having her vaccinated with the influenza vaccine, is it a guarantee by following the detox ideas posted on this page, would my daughter be fully detoxed of the influenza vaccine?

November 7, 2018 at 10:30 pmYou can probably contact this writer by maybe leaving a comment on her Instagram account @meglivingwhole seeing that this article was written in 2014
Megan Redshaw
November 8, 2018 at 6:36 amHi Ciana,
I am sorry for the unfortunate situation you’re in. By law, NY offers religious and medical exemptions so I would push for one of these. There is no guarantee that anyone can be fully detoxed from a vaccine and that it will have no residual affects — this is just a protocol that could help.

October 24, 2018 at 12:46 pmI’m doing some research on how to help my grandbaby girl who received a Hep B shot in the hospital without permission. I understand that the metal involved is aluminum. She is 4 months old and has developed eczema all over her body and of course the recommendation by the doctor is cortisone cream. I am limited to what she can take. She is being breast fed. How do I go about getting a homeopathic without going to a doctor? Money is an issue for the parents. Thank you, Diane Owen
Wendy Johns
October 30, 2018 at 12:17 pmHi there Diane!
Thank goodness she is being breastfed!
What the baby can’t take right now, the mother can and it will come thru the breast milk.
If I were the mother, I would do the following protocol:
-Sublingual Silica in cell salt form (NuAge brand #12 around $7)
-Mother should abstain from dairy as this can aggravate eczema.
-Use shea butter or coconut oil on baby’s skin- add Epsom salt to bath water
-Mother -drink Spring Water and add Chlorophyll drops to it (detox metals)
https://www.vitacost.com/chlorophyll-13 (less than $10)
https://www.naturalnews.com/049882_chlorophyll_chelating_agent_blood_builder.htm
– the other obvious suggestions – eat clean/organic as much as possible, abstain from fast food, processed foods, soft drinks and non herbal teas.
Mother should consume coconut oil as well.

October 30, 2018 at 9:34 pmThere are some good suggestions in the article on this site re. detox approaches (of course, bearing in mind the child’s age and appropriate applications) However, in about a week from today, there will be a docu-series ‘HEALING FROM VACCINES’ free online. You should definitely check this 9 part series out and share with others. That aside, you should also lodge a complaint with the hospital that injected her with the Hep B shot without consent.

October 22, 2018 at 11:55 pmWhat do I need to do before and after for a Dtap vaccine?
Nancy
October 10, 2018 at 6:02 pmThis is an awesome blog post! Please allow me to alert readers that as children grow and move out into the world they are likely to face more demands on them to be vaccinated whether they like it or not.
My MD allergist back in the late 1980’s, who was himself informed about the dangers of and lack of need for vaccines, explained this to me, and then suggested I do some research myself about it at the local medical library. After spending a year researching this I resolved to not vaccinate my two children further. They were 6 (girl) and 3 (boy) years old.
But at age 18, my daughter went on a mission trip and had to get the Polio update and Hepatitis B series to travel to Romania. A year later, this super active college sophomore had to fly home to us as she’d suddenly become nearly bedridden with fatigue. We went to my naturopath who expertly used a bioelectric device to find that “the polio vaccine is breaking down her metabolism at the cellular level”. He ordered the antidote for that specific vaccine from a German homeopathic pharmaceutical company (yes, they’re still in business) stat, and within 3 days of taking it, she gained enough energy to walk again. It took 3 months and some nutrition supplements to recover enough to return to college.
Two years later, my son joined the Air Force after 911, and was injected with 6 vaccines during basic training. Within a month, he developed double pneumonia and had to be hospitalized for 2 weeks and pumped with antibiotics. He had never had more than a mild cold in his life up to that point. I hope others would consider and share these aspects of vaccinating teens, especially with the teens.
Nancy
October 26, 2018 at 1:10 pmI forgot to include the fact that when my daughter came home so weak and immobile from college, we first took her to her GP/MD for evaluation. He had no idea how to help her, and consulted with his partners. All they said was, ‘wait and see what happens’. He was the doctor that had previously set her up with the vaccines.
Medical Travelling
October 31, 2018 at 6:22 amI still keep getting notifications of new comments occasionally so that led me come and check out the conversation here. Hepatitis B vaccine peaked my interest. Did she get the homeopathic antidote also for that or only against the Polio vaccine? For me the tree series Engerix B vaccine was the first one that started to degrade my immunity years ago. Later swine flu Pandemrix vaccine was the final nail in the coffin. And ever since I’ve had to fight against CFS. But I made some recovery with ozone and EDTA and ACC chelation. Maybe I mentioned those on my earlier comment, can’t remember.
Recently I discovered another promising product called Advanced TRS. Hopefully it will finish the job chelation wise. ACC can become tiresome as you need to wake up every three hours during the night when “on round”. There are TRS support groups in Facebook with tens of thousands of people giving great testimonials. Also many in Youtube.

November 21, 2018 at 12:16 pmSo sorry to hear of your struggle with the Hep B series, Tuukka. Awesome that you’ve found things that work well for you. The Hep B series didn’t come up as the problem for my daughter with the EAV interrogative scans, just the Polio vaccine from those years. She recovered very well and has had few health concerns. She’s a career woman now ~ a full charge manager for Nike in Canada = no more energy issues since that single event.
It would have so helpful if I/we had been better informed when she got the (forced) injections (and for my son, too) to have known to put ice on the site, then mud pack it with french clay or zeolite clay for a week, supplement load with Vitamin C and Nordic EPA fish oil, and take a month’s worth of Epsom salt / baking soda bath soaks. Live and learn.
